Some Old California Memory Lyrics - Henson Cargill

Two Allegheny engines broke the silence of the morning 

Cause whisper jets don't whisper when they take your world away 

The one that I was living for flew out and she was glad 

That's too bad cause she's all I've ever had 

And there she goes on that seven-forty-seven 

Climbing higher into heaven than my angel ever dared to fly 

And she's twice as high on some old California mem'ry than she ever was on me 

That silver bird is sparkling like a diamond in the sunlight 

And the vapor trail is fading like the love she had for me 

Her soft and tender feelings left with her and she was glad 

That's too bad cause she's all I've ever had 

And there she goes... 

The tears that I've been holding back have finaly found their freedom 

And the shoes that they're falling on may never get me home 

The one that I was living for flew out and she was glad 

That's too bad cause she's all I've ever had 

And there she goes... 

Two Allegheny engines broke the silence of the morning 

Cause whisper jets don't whisper when they take your world away
